[IRCA] Kiwa still doing receiver mods?

I just picked up a pristine Sony icf-SW 1 receiver with the case and all the accessories. Of course, it has the presumed problem with capacitors which I know Craig used to repair/install. Does anyone know whether he still offers this service? *His new website only talks about filters of various

There are around three electronics shops on Main St. in Vancouver that cater to DIY ENGINEER and hacker types. I've been in - amazing to see dozens of young teen and 20-something boys and girls buying discrete electronic components. Colin Newell - CoffeeCrew.com - VA7WWV - Victoria - BC >

Gidday: RP Electronics still exist: they've moved from the West 4th Ave location in Kitsilano to a mini-mall store-front on Rupert, just south of the BNSF/CN railway tracks and across from Real Canadian Superstore. It's been a while since I visited, but they had become a computer-geekish

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

The Source became some kind of a "Bell Store" since the franchise was bought by Bell in Canada. Just to mention, our store has been a Radio Shack Dealer since the 80's. The business was good with that provider until the brand became property of Bell. At contact renewal, we were forced to get

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

Doesn't the Vancouver area still have a real storefront parts supplier Theo?R P Electronics if I remember correctly?We still have Queale in Victoria, better than the Canadian Radio Shack ever was for parts, though can't compete with the selection of Digi-Key etc. Do any other such

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

Years ago Tandy got rid of its Radio Shack stores in Canada... and later removed the local right to use the brand name... so they became The Source at Circuit City.. but when the US portion of that was liquidated, they morphed to just The Source. The stores seem to be surviving, though don't

They did not shift with the culture - and try bold initiatives - Pity actually because there market for electronics DIY and leading edge gadget culture is still very much still with us - Now we geeks shop at Digikey and Mouser and Newark -- which I guess would not necessarily support bricks and

Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

Two within about 20 miles of here closed last week. Two others remain ( King of Prussia Mall and Doylestown PA ), however these will be closing within 2-3 months. Before the closest one left closed, I was able to purchase some cables, adapters, and other items at 80-90% off. I probably don't

Thanks for the heads up Chuck. I'd missed searching Phil's fine compilations of DXpeditions which began in 2016 in DX Monitor, and will do so in future. The earlier loggings of 2NB unfortunately pretty much escape me. Nick At 05:39 06-06-17, you wrote: Some are listed in the

We still have one here, Warrenton. At one time we had three in the county. Now down to one. I heard Sears & K Mart are about really to go too. With Amazon, and other services, the catalog stores are no longer needed. Even our J.C. Penny's in Astoria is closing at the end of August, after 101
